"I want him to be with me."
Even though he was mentally prepared, when he stepped into the hall and saw people lying on the ground in the middle of the hall and a woman with her hair loose and wearing a red dress standing in the front, An Jiu was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat.
Hearing the noise, the woman suddenly looked up, her eyes as sharp as a knife.
When An Jiu saw the woman's face, he was stunned for a moment.
Isn’t this the Holy Maiden of the Demon Cult mentioned in the original text?
The book records that Hua Qing, the Holy Maiden of the Demon Cult, had learned poison techniques since she was young, but because she had never been out of the mountains and no one taught her what was right and wrong, good and evil, she developed a naive character.
Hua Qing was only sixteen years old when she first appeared. She was very beautiful, so she was called a little witch.
In the Demon Cult copy, Hua Qing also has a small entanglement with the male protagonist.
An Jiu glanced around. At this moment, the scene in the hall was exactly the same as what was written in the book. The only difference was the woman in red in the center of the hall.
It was obvious at first glance that this woman was not a playboy. Anyone with eyes could see that she was very old.
Maybe she was in her thirties or forties, or maybe she was in her forties or fifties, but definitely not a sixteen-year-old girl.
A mess of thoughts flashed through his mind. An Jiu took a deep breath, quickly took a step back, and left the hall.
Mom, is it too late for her to go back now?
However, before she could vent her anger, An Jiu suddenly realized that the woman was looking at Pei Ji.
After reaching an area with flat terrain, Pei Ji got off Ah Qi's back and was now sitting in his wheelchair.
He was still wearing the spotless snow-white clothes, and was still slowly waving a folding fan in his hand. He had black hair and white clothes, and a pair of narrow black eyes were filled with a gentle smile. He was gentle and graceful.
The woman's eyes seemed to be glued to Pei Ji's face. She stared at him straight, standing there motionless, as if she had suddenly become demented.
Her originally sharp eyes gradually became blurred, covered with a layer of ripples, like hard ice melting bit by bit into spring water in the south of the Yangtze River, with rippling water.
An Jiu looked at the way the woman was looking at Pei Ji, and couldn't help but take small steps forward and stand in front of Pei Ji.
Hey, that expression looked like she was in heat. She had no doubt that this woman wanted to swallow Pei Ji.
Her vision was suddenly blocked, and the woman's softened expression suddenly froze. Her sunken eyelids flipped over, and her eyes suddenly turned into two needles, piercing straight at An Jiu.
The moment she saw An Jiu's face, deep hatred and resentment suddenly emerged in her dark eyes that were burning with ghostly fire.
"Bitch! How dare you snatch Pei Lang from me!!!"
The woman asked in a sharp voice and rushed towards them quickly.
All this happened in a very short period of time, from the moment they stepped through the door to the moment the woman suddenly attacked, leaving almost no room for thought.
An Jiu was completely confused. She didn't understand who this woman was, nor did she understand the relationship between her and Pei Ji.
At first she thought the woman fell in love with Pei Ji at first sight, but the woman just mentioned Pei Lang, so did she know Pei Ji?
Or, did this woman have an old relationship with Pei Ji? And was she abandoned by him?
An Jiu has never hesitated to assume the worst of villains. Based on her understanding of him, Pei Ji is really capable of doing such a deceptive thing.
Didn't he lie to her before?
I just didn't expect that Pei Ji had such a strong taste. This woman could at least be his mother, right?
The woman had no martial arts skills and was not running very fast. During this gap, An Jiu had time to look back at Pei Ji in surprise.
Perhaps her expression was too obvious. The young man in white behind her paused, and the gentle mask he habitually put on showed some signs of cracking. He asked in a cold voice: "What are you thinking about?"
An Jiu let out an "ah".
Pei Ji glanced at her coldly and said, "I have nothing to do with her."
Before An Jiu could say anything, she suddenly felt her waist tighten. The man who was blocked by her from behind reached out, and his slender hand supported her waist, and pulled her from the front to his back.
"Don't try to show off. That woman is using poison."
As she finished speaking, the woman approached them.
Only then did An Jiu see that the woman was not wearing shoes. She was running barefoot in the hall with her arms open. A joyful smile like a girl appeared on her wrinkled face.
"Pei Lang, are you finally here to see me?"
When the person standing in the way moved away, the woman's heart and eyes were once again filled with Pei Ji. It seemed that in this world, except the young man in white in front of her, she could no longer see anyone else.
If it hadn't been discovered yet that she was mentally ill, An Jiu would have gone blind.
It's obvious that he's a madman!
A crazy woman in her forties or fifties, who called Pei Ji Pei Lang and used poison... Putting all the information together, a name suddenly emerged in An Jiu's mind.
——Hua Mei!
Hua Mei is not dead!
An Jiu widened his eyes and almost screamed.
Fortunately, she still remembered that "Anjiu" was unaware of these things, so she restrained herself and did not show much abnormality.
But even if she lost her composure, Pei Ji should not notice her.
Because he had already started a fight with that woman.
An Jiu had never imagined how a poison master would fight. Didn't a poison master always poison people secretly and stab them in the back?
Today, she was enlightened and witnessed the battle between the world's top poison masters.
The young man in white was still sitting in the wheelchair, his hair neatly arranged and his clothes white as snow. The folding fan in his hand had been slowly unfolded. It was pinched by his bony fingers, and a big "医" (doctor) stood in front of him.
The folding fan seemed to have been replaced. The folding fan that An Jiu remembered was a white jade fan, but the thirty-six ribs on this fan were black. It was unknown what material it was made of, and it emitted a faint glow in the sunlight.
An Jiu never dared to touch Pei Ji's folding fan, because she knew very well that there were countless kinds of poisons hidden in the fan, and she still didn't think her life was too long.
She had never seen Pei Ji use this fan before. At most he would wave it to fan the air.
At this moment, the fan is no longer just used for fanning.
The woman in red rushed over, and a piece of red gauze appeared in her hand. The gauze was as thin as mist and as red as blood. It floated lightly between her fingers and floated with the wind, just like a soft red cloud.
"Pei Lang, I will never let you go this time!"
The woman's eyes were cloudy and she was obviously not very sober, but she acted without hesitation.
The red gauze came over like clouds and mist. In a trance, An Jiu even saw the red gauze really turned into a cloud and a mist. The mist was thin and vast like smoke, like a dream and it was very beautiful.
An Jiu's eyes could not move as he watched until a stern shout came: "Back off."
It was like a thunderclap exploding in his head, and An Jiu suddenly woke up. Then his feet were suspended in the air, and the surrounding scenery quickly retreated. When his feet landed again, An Jiu was several feet away from the hall.
"Excuse me, Miss An." His neck relaxed and Ah Qi's voice sounded behind him.
An Jiu was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat. She was in no mood to care about him grabbing her by the back of the neck. She immediately shook her head repeatedly: "It's okay, it's okay. I haven't thanked you yet."
How could she not understand that she had actually been poisoned by Hua Mei invisibly?
Although An Jiu's character was not outstanding, he thought he was calm and sober. How could he mistake a piece of red gauze for a cloud for no reason? He could only be poisoned and hallucinating.
She was really frightened at this moment. Hua Mei clearly did nothing. Just a piece of red gauze floated over, but she was poisoned silently. This was too horrible.
It’s no exaggeration to say that if you offend a poison master, you won’t even know how you died.
As An Jiu thought about this, his eyes couldn't help but fall on Pei Ji.
In front of the wide-open palace door, there was only the back of a young man in white sitting there.
She couldn't see his face, but could see his jet-black hair hanging down, which looked like silk under the bright sun.
She could still see the folding fan in his hand. The fan was snow-white, with the huge Chinese character "醫" faintly visible on it. The man's white and slender fingertips penetrated the center of the fan bone, and the folding fan rotated between his slender jade-like fingers, fanning out gusts of wind.
From time to time, he would tap lightly on the fan bones, making a slight trembling sound.
An Jiu suddenly remembered that just before she woke up, it seemed that a gust of wind blew across her face.
That couldn't possibly be just simple wind, there must be all kinds of things in the wind.
I don’t know how I got poisoned, and I don’t know how to detoxify.
She was literally jumping back and forth on the brink of death.
"Don't worry, sir. He is immune to all poisons. That woman can't do anything to him."
Perhaps because he saw that she was looking too seriously, Ah Qi suddenly spoke up.
An Jiu didn't explain and continued reading without turning back.
Just as Ah Qi said, that woman really couldn't do anything to Pei Ji.
Both of them used poison at the same time. Pei Ji was immune to all poisons, but the woman had no way to protect herself from the poison.
To put it simply, both of them are top-notch wizards, but one of them is immune to magic, so he is naturally invincible.
The moment Pei Ji attacked, the woman was furious. She said sharply, "Pei Lang, why are you resisting me? I've been waiting for you for so long, is that bitch still the only one in your heart?"
As she spoke, the red gauze in her hands rolled and floated. Under her hands, the fluttering red gauze was like a red python being controlled by someone, biting the young man in white.
The red gauze itself has no killing power. The woman has no internal strength. She only uses external skills. Every time the red gauze cannot touch Pei Ji, it will be blocked by the black bone and white fan, and she will return empty-handed.
Even if the woman was crazy and could not recognize people, she still had her brains. She soon realized that the poison on the red yarn had no effect on Pei Lang, and he would not be poisoned at all!
She made the same judgment as she had twenty years ago.
She couldn't do anything to Pei Lang, but could she not control his sweetheart?
"Pei Lang, you forced me to do this. I was sincere to you, but you turned a blind eye to it. I know that woman is pregnant with your child, but I also gave birth to a child for you! You only have eyes for her, so I have to get rid of her!"
After roaring these words, the woman turned around and stopped entangled with Pei Ji. She turned around and rushed towards An Jiu.
An Jiu was originally squatting on the side eating melons, but he didn't expect that he would be caught in the crossfire and attracted the hatred of the monster the next moment. He immediately jumped up from the ground and wanted to run.
Ah Qi also subconsciously grabbed her by the back of the collar, ready to take her away.
He couldn't cure the woman's poison, but the woman had no internal strength and couldn't outrun him.
However, the first one to take action was Pei Ji.
Pei Ji held the wheel of the wheelchair with one hand, and the wheelchair rolled quickly and turned in a direction. He tapped the armrest with his fingers, and a slight sound came out of the armrest, and with two whooshes, something shot out and went towards the woman.
The woman in red was not far away from him, and she was not on guard against him. She didn't even have time to love him in her heart, so how could she be on guard against him?
She was immediately hit by those two things, and the huge force caused her to stagger back a few steps.
Then she held her chest, bent down, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
When she raised her head again, her already pale face became even paler than a ghost, without a trace of blood.
"Pei Lang, you are so cruel. For that woman, you hit me again..."
There was black blood on the woman's pale lips, and it was obvious that she was severely poisoned.
It was a deadly poison that would kill an ordinary person instantly if it came into contact with blood. However, the woman was still standing there. Her body was swaying as if she was about to fall down, but under the gazes of several people, she slowly straightened up.
She raised her hand and gently wiped the blood off her lips, looked at her red fingertips curiously, then put them into her mouth again, and licked the blood off her fingers like a child eating candy.
An Jiu: "..."
Isn't this fucking disgusting?
After Hua Mei licked her fingers, her face gradually regained some color.
It was so strange, as if the blood she had just licked was replenished.
An Jiu shuddered, knowing that this must be another round of fighting.
Pei Ji shot two poison needles and Hua Mei was poisoned, but for some reason she recovered.
She is worthy of being the woman who defeated the King of Medicine Pei Zhou. Her poison skills are superb, and she is even slightly better than Pei Ji.
Just as An Jiu was thinking this, he saw a cold look appear in the corners of the eyes and eyebrows of the young man in white.
Obviously, he also felt it was a difficult situation.
Although Hua Mei couldn't poison him, Pei Ji was restricted by his "disabled" legs and could not reveal his identity yet. He could only sit here and confront her.
Pei Ji's eyes turned and he saw that several people in the hall had stood up from the ground and were watching them fight.
Some of the people in the hall died, but many more were still alive, but they were poisoned and unable to move.
These people all have profound internal strength. Even if they are poisoned, they can temporarily block the eight extraordinary meridians in the body, reduce metabolism and blood flow, and slow down the spread of the poison.
This is also the way most martial artists fight against poison masters.
As long as you subdue the poisoner before the poison takes effect, you can get the antidote.
Of course, it is impossible for a top-notch poison master to make a person still able to move after being poisoned, as the poison is basically fatal on first sight.
So when it comes down to it, there are not many poison masters in the world. Most of these rat-like guys in the gutter are killed before they can master their skills. Only the top poison masters can make it to the top.
Even if you succeed, you will still be hated by everyone. It is indeed a high-risk job.
Pei Ji didn't want to expose the fact that he practiced poison arts in front of others. When he was reborn, he planned to be a miracle doctor for the rest of his life, admired by thousands of people. He would never fall into the same situation as in his previous life.
So at that moment, he was in a particularly difficult situation.
At this moment, someone in the hall shouted to him, "Little Divine Doctor Pei, that is the evil witch of the Demon Cult. She poisoned us with the five-colored flower. You must be careful!"
There were not many martial artists awake in the hall. Those few who struggled to get up saw the confrontation between Pei Ji and Hua Mei. They didn't see clearly what happened, so they subconsciously reminded them.
When this sound fell into everyone's ears, Hua Mei seemed to be awakened, and her confused eyes suddenly regained some clarity.
She was still sober at first, but when she saw Pei Ji's face which was extremely similar to Pei Zhou, she suddenly went crazy.
When he was shouted at, it was like a layer of fog was cleared away, and he suddenly fell from the heaven to the earth.
Her deep eyes fell on Pei Ji's face. She stared at him for a long time before she said in a dreamlike voice, "You are actually Xia Yan's son..."
"It's me. I came here to seek revenge on you. You killed my mother and poisoned me and made me disabled. Today I came to ask for an explanation."
During the fight with her, Pei Ji had not spoken a word until his identity was exposed, then he slowly spoke.
"You want to explain? What do you want to explain?" Hua Mei looked at him strangely, with a sneer on her face sometimes and a smile sometimes, as if she was performing a magic trick, which was very weird.
"Xia Yan is dead, right? You look so much like Pei Lang... Is Pei Lang really dead?"
Hua Mei was even weirder when she was sober than when she was crazy. She spoke incoherently and had a weird expression. She looked at Pei Ji with eyes that sometimes she wanted to kill him, and sometimes she was obsessed with him, as if he was her most beloved lover.
Pei Ji said: "My father has been dead for ten years."
Before she finished speaking, Hua Mei was already shaking her head frantically. She grabbed her messy hair with both hands and yelled, "Impossible, how could Pei Lang die! He can't be dead! I don't believe it!"
An Jiu watched from the side without daring to breathe. She always felt that Pei Ji was provoking this woman.
The crazy Hua Mei is indeed easier to deal with than the sober one. After all, crazy people cannot think.
Unfortunately, just as Hua Mei was about to fall into madness, a black shadow suddenly floated in from the back of the hall.
The man wore a hideous evil ghost mask and floated to Hua Mei's side. He raised his hand to hold Hua Mei's shoulder and said, "Mother, you forgot again that he is my brother, Pei Ji and Xia Yan's son. Don't you want to kill him?"
Hua Mei's spirit stabilized a little, and she murmured: "Yes, I will kill him."
She stared at Pei Ji with bloodshot eyes. The moment that handsome face came into her sight, the anger in her eyes turned into obsessive love once again.
Hua Mei stared at Pei Ji for a long while, then suddenly pointed at him and said to Hua Xuan: "Son, I want him. Pei Lang is dead, but his son is still alive. I want him to be with me."
Hua Xuan: “…”
Pei Ji: “…”
An Jiu: “…”? ? ? The robbery happened to her?
An Jiu was so shocked that the melon in his mouth almost fell out.
The martial arts masters lying on the ground in the hall couldn't understand why events turned out this way, and everyone looked confused.
Only Hua Mei felt that her idea was extremely good. Her mind was now clear and she was becoming more and more sober.
Pei Zhou is already dead, the dead cannot be resurrected.
She went crazy before because she couldn't accept this fact, but now she can accept it.
Pei Zhou is dead, and there is another Pei Ji who is very similar to him.
Pei Ji is younger and more handsome than his father. Pei Zhou is a knight in a green robe, while Pei Ji is a handsome and romantic nobleman. The two look similar, but their styles are completely different. Hua Mei is very satisfied.
She suddenly felt that she didn't miss Pei Zhou so much anymore.
The more she thought about it, the more feasible it seemed. Hua Mei smiled and said to the young man in white at the door, "These people came with you, right? If you don't follow me, I will kill them all, and you won't be able to escape. If you follow me, I will let them all go. How about that?"
Hua Meike knows how to threaten people. She did the same to Pei Zhou back then. Pei Zhou's son must be similar to him, with the same kind heart and chivalrous spirit. He will not watch these people die in vain.
When she smiled now, she looked somewhat delicate and her eyes were sparkling, like a little girl facing her lover.
An Jiu stared at the two of them in amazement, feeling like he was about to die.
This, this, this is too much! If you can't get the father, then go get the son? Why does Hua Mei always pick on the men of the Pei family?
She's going to die if she does this!
Pei Ji is not just a miracle doctor. An Jiu knows without thinking that Pei Ji will never agree to this condition. Maybe when he is forced into a corner, he will stop pretending and just kill everyone.
After all, he is the big villain. He wishes all the martial artists would die. How could he care about their lives?
An Jiu's mind was working quickly, and his gaze shifted to Pei Ji, staring at him nervously.
If he really stops pretending, the consequences will be too serious.
Not only her, but everyone's eyes were focused on the gentle and jade-like face of the young man in white, waiting for his answer.
The young man in white was silent, looking at Hua Mei with his dark eyes meaningfully. After a moment, he suddenly smiled, and his eyebrows, which seemed too soft on the man's face, gently curved like a crescent moon.
He opened his thin lips slightly and was about to say something.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps suddenly rang in everyone's ears, getting closer and closer.
An Jiu subconsciously turned his head and looked in the direction of the voice.
The next second, a hunched figure came into view. It was the strange old man I met on the road.
The old man walked towards the hall step by step with a wooden face.
He seemed not to notice the people around him. He never raised his head from his lowered position. His eyes were always looking at the ground, without even glancing at anyone else.
Judging from his slow and sluggish steps, he also doesn't know martial arts.
He looked like an ordinary old man, but his presence here meant that he was definitely not ordinary.
"Mute servant? What are you doing here?" Hua Xuan stared at him.
Hua Xuan naturally recognized the mute servant. This old man came here ten years ago, and no one knew where he was from, after all, he was a mute.
Hua Qing picked the person up from outside. When the girl was not using the person to test medicine, she was a kind-hearted girl, so she kept the person in the medicine valley to grow medicinal herbs for her.
After Hua Qing died, all the herbs she planted in the medicine valley were pulled out and replaced with the colorful star flowers cultivated by Hua Mei. However, the mute servant did not suffer the same fate as those herbs, but remained in the medicine valley to water the medicine fields.
The old man said nothing and continued walking forward.
He walked past Pei Ji and passed by the handsome young man in white without stopping for a moment.
As Hua Xuan staggered into the hall, his brows furrowed and the short knife in his sleeve slipped into his palm.
The atmosphere in the hall quietly became tense, and a storm was about to come.
Seeing this scene that was completely different from the original novel, An Jiu was curious and worried, and couldn't help but poke the system: "System, who is this person? Is he some peerless master, the Sweeping Monk? Is he good or bad? Don't tell me he's here to help the Demon Cult!"
Before the system responded, the old man with a hunched back and lowered head slowly raised his head.
He had an ordinary face, full of wrinkles and ravines, which made people think of the barren mountains in the desert.
But it doesn't matter what he looks like, no one will look at his appearance.
Everyone was looking at him, but the old man was only looking at one person.
There was a desolate calmness in his two old eyes, a calmness so extreme that it could be described as dead silence.
At this moment, these dead, abyss-like eyes shone directly on Hua Mei's face.
"Hua Mei, after all these years, you are still the same, you haven't changed at all..."
A low sigh echoed in the empty hall. Perhaps because the tone was too deep and heavy, it almost created an echo.
The author has something to say:
Pei Zhou's evil transformation is even more ruthless than his son, so the fight is over very quickly~ (I'm not good at fighting, so please read this randomly, everyone can read it qaq
